The IRS sends out about 3.8 million tax levies a year to banks and employers. That is a staggering amount. Levies are sent as a last resort because taxpayers did not answer earlier correspondence. The IRS is really not looking to levy, they are really interested in getting your case closed and off of their receivables. They want full compliance from every taxpayer.
You cannot just pick up the telephone, call the IRS and get your tax levy released. While much is said about getting tax levies released, these tips are the fastest way to make it happen.
Tips to get a tax levy released immediately:
1. Pay the tax in full and all Federal Tax Levies or Liens will be released immediately.
2. Your tax returns must ALL be filed and current. If your tax returns are not up to date, the IRS will not release any tax levy at all. It is imperative you get your back returns prepared immediately. If you do not have your tax records to prepare your returns you can ask the IRS for your income tax records and this can be a good place to start for beginning tax preparation.
3. You will need to fill out a 433-F for the IRS. The 433-F is an individual financial statement. Full documentation to back up the 433-F is required to make sure you are telling the truth. The IRS will release the levy after they determine the best way to close your open tax case.
4. It is recommended that taxpayers hire professional tax firms because of the strict national standards tests that are applied on all cases for settlement. After the IRS receives your 433-F, they apply the National Standards Test to determine how your case will be closed. If a tax professional reviews your 433-F before making the call to IRS, they could save you from reporting any incorrect information that could be used against you. Having been an IRS Agent, it can be said that most taxpayers do not have any idea how or why the IRS applies these national standards. The way your case is closed is completely dependent on this financial statement.
5. If you do not like the way the IRS is handling your case, you have two options:
A. Taxpayer Advocates Offices
B. Filing a Collections Appeal
Be prepared for the telephone call to the IRS, know all your rights and understand how important your 433-F ( financial statement ) is in this process.

Many people ask, “Are my Social Security Benefits Taxable?” The answer,
The Social Security benefits you received in 2010 may be taxable. You should receive a Form SSA1099 which will show the total amount of your benefits. The information provided on this statement along with the following seven facts from the IRS will help you determine whether or not your benefits are taxable.
How much, if any, of your Social Security benefits are taxable depends on your total income and marital status. Generally, if Social Security benefits were your only income for 2010, your benefits are not taxable and you probably do not need to file a federal income tax return.
If you received income from other sources, your benefits will not be taxed unless your modified adjusted gross income is more than the base amount for your filing status. Your taxable benefits and modified adjusted gross income are figured on a worksheet in the Form 1040A or Form 1040 Instruction booklet.
You can do the following quick computation to determine whether some of your benefits may be taxable:
• First, add one-half of the total Social Security benefits you received to all your other income, including any tax exempt interest and other exclusions from income.
• Then, compare this total to the base amount for your filing status. If the total is more than your base amount, some of your benefits may be taxable.
The 2010 base amounts are:
• $32,000 for married couples filing jointly.
• $25,000 for single, head of household, qualifying widow/widower with a dependent child, or married individuals filing separately who did not live with their spouses at any time during the year.
• $0 for married persons filing separately who lived together during the year.

There are different ways to get your IRS tax levy released.
IRS must release your levy if any of the following occur:
1. You pay the tax, penalty, and interest you owe.
2 . We discover that the time for collection (the statute of limitations) ended before the levy was served.
3. You provide documentation proving that releasing the levy will help us collect the tax.
4. You have an installment agreement, or enter into one, unless the agreement says the levy does not have to be released.
5. We determine that the levy is creating a significant economic hardship for you.
6 . The fair market value of the property exceeds such liability and release of the levy on a part of such property could be made without hindering the collection of such liability.
IRS will not release a levy unless all tax returns are current and you have given them a 433F. Once the 433F ( financial statement ) is reviewed by the IRS, they can proceed to close your case.
Your case will be closed by one of the following methods:
a. Hardship Closure cases usually go into a 3 year suspended status because of an inability to pay. This is also called currently noncollectable. Your case will go into a hardship status because
you do not have the income coming in to met your current expenses. IRS will use the National Standards Program to assess hardship.
b Payment Agreements are agreed upon monthly installment payments to the IRS. c. Offer in Compromise.Three Types of OICs:
The IRS may accept an offer in compromise based on three grounds:
1. Doubt as to Collectibility – Doubt exists that the taxpayer could ever pay the full amount of tax liability owed within the remainder of the statutory period for collection.
2. Doubt as to Liability – A legitimate doubt exists that the assessed tax liability is correct.
3. Effective Tax Administration – There is no doubt that the tax is correct and there is potential to collect the full amount of the tax owed, but an exceptional circumstance exists.
